Some Thoughts
We've hit the witching hour here in the midwest with seven hours of reading left. My butterscotch sundae was absolutely delicious; although I mixed it up almost enough to be more of a butterscotch shake. I'm oddly awake and hopeful that I will make it all the way to seven. How many of you out there are going for the full 24 hour push?

Now what am I going to read next?

5 Children's Books (straight off the top of my head) Mini-Challenge hosted at Chronicle of an Infant Bibliophile

The Phantom Tollbooth - Best children's book out there in my opinion

The Story of Ping - see my post here for the complete story!

Anything by Gary Paulsen - just a wonderful author

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH - Many lessons can be learned from these rats

The Chronicles of Narnia - enough said

  1. Thanks so much for playing along. Well done making it this far in the read-a-thon!! Can you believe I've never read the Chronicles of Narnia? Definitely have to hunt it down one of these days. Enjoy the last few hours!

  2. Oh, I forgot about the Phantom Tollbooth. It's definitely a good one. I never read it as a kid.

    Have fun!
